enable the insecure AES CBC ciphers

I am running SmartFTP Library and got the "Key exchange failed" error.

This problem was solved in the following post:
www.smartftp.com/forums/index.php?/topi ... iled/</div>
 
The solution was to: Manually enable the insecure AES CBC ciphers in the SSH dialog in the favorite properties
 
I believe that solution was for SmartFTP client. How can I enable the ciphers in the SmartFTP library code?
 
 

The AES CBC ciphers have been enabled again by default in the FTP Library.
 
Can you reproduce the problem with SmartFTP Client?

I don't own a copy of the SmartFTP client (my 30 day trial expired), but I did try several other things.
1) FileZilla connects OK.
2) An older version of SmartFTP library connect OK. Here is the log:

Does this shed any light on why the new FTP library cannot connect?
 

Still waiting for any suggestions on this. It continues to work great with the older version of SmartFTP library, but I have to start running it on a new computer as Windows XP has been deprecated. The new OS requires the newer version of SmartFTP library, which I purchased just for this purpose and it won't work.

Please try the previous suggestion. Then report back with the results. For further assistance please contact us by email.

I purchased a copy of SmartFTP client so that I could try your suggestion. Here is the log when I try to connect:

Filezilla connects fine with the same credentials, and the old version of SmartFTP library works on an XP machine.
I need to get this running on a Windows 7 machine.
 
Any thoughts on what my next step is?

In SmartFTP:
- Go to the Tools - Favorite Properties
- Go to the SSH - Advanced dialog
- Set the Encryption option to Use favorite settings
- Check 3DES
- Click OK
- Restart SmartFTP
 
For the problem with the FTP Library:
Install the latest version https://www.smartftp.com/ftplib/download
It comes with 3DES pre-enabled

Thank you. This solution works.
